An industrial automation and heavy engineering organisation was expanding its automation capability and needed a divisional manager to lead complex, robotics-led programmes.
Demand was rising for robotics-led production systems, PLC modernisation and integrated automation. The organisation needed leadership able to run complex programmes, strengthen technical delivery and lift operational efficiency across multiple industrial projects.
A private bank needed to strengthen its security operations centre against a rising volume of sophisticated financial threats, with real-time threat detection and incident response.
A polymer textile manufacturer moving into the artificial leather market needed technical expertise beyond its own bench, covering equipment, formulation and plant setup.
A market infrastructure institution needed one person to own IT governance, risk and compliance. Here's how we hit the mark.
A product-led technology company in scientific communication and research enablement was scaling its portfolio and needed a senior engineering leader to hold technical governance across several platforms.

Marquee searched four sectors on this mandate: industrial automation, automotive manufacturing, robotics and heavy engineering. Senior automation leaders with deep domain expertise sit across all four, and a search confined to one would have reached a fraction of the market. Industrial automation and manufacturing technology are where Marquee has completed the most mandates, which is what made a four-sector search practical inside the agreed timeline.
Candidates were evaluated on multi-platform PLC systems, robotic automation cells, industrial communication protocols and end-to-end project lifecycle management. The placed leader covers nine robotics and PLC platforms, among them Siemens, Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, Schneider, Beckhoff, ABB, Fanuc, KUKA and Motoman. Screening ran against the platforms the client operates rather than a generic automation profile, since a controls head who has run one vendor stack carries a narrower brief.
Marquee placed a senior automation leader with more than two decades of experience. That spans industrial automation, robotics integration, CNC systems and large-scale manufacturing environments. The leader has delivered complex robotic automation projects covering MIG welding, spot welding, material handling systems and industrial process optimisation. The brief called for someone able to lead turnkey programmes end to end, so execution history weighed as heavily as technical breadth.
Execution efficiency improved on large-scale industrial automation and robotic integration projects. Multi-robot automation cells and advanced PLC-driven manufacturing systems were deployed across welding, material handling and production automation. Commissioning standards and troubleshooting frameworks were strengthened, which lifted system stability and maintainability across manufacturing operations. The appointment gave the automation division the technical leadership and structured project management it was expanding to support.
Industrial automation and manufacturing technology are the two sectors where Marquee has completed the most mandates. That concentration means the same roles recur for different clients, so the market map is already drawn when a brief arrives and searching begins within twelve hours of sign-off. Marquee reaches an agreed shortlist in about eight days and a closed offer in about fourteen, and every placement carries a three-month replacement term.
